1 Anotherobject of the in ention is to provide a simple form of bracket member which 2 5 may be readily manufactured at a comparatively low figure and one which will also be readily attachable to a window-frame or other support whether the surface to which it is to be attached is rounded or flat, as may 50 be the case Where applied to'molding.

While the invention is not limited to the specific details as illustrated and described, still to more clearly understand the same reference is had to the accompanying drawings, illustrating a practical embodiment of the invention, the appended claim pointing out the particular features of novelty. Referring to the drawingsfigure 1 mentary view, in front elevation, of the door 4 or Window frame with. a curtain-shade roller hung by means of the improved form of brackets. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of a brackfet member, the shade-roller being shown in dotted lines with the rounded pintle 'ournaled in operative racke'l member.

that the bracket members are sign, comprising a fastening-pin, which me be sharpened at one end and provided with screw-threads, as at 1, the other end terminating in a loop member 2, forming an elongated slot 3. Although in these figures of the drawings the bracket members are shown in reverse positions, it will be understood that when placed in position they are in alinement and are preferably disposed with the loop portion .upward. This may be accomplished in any desirable way but it is prefer- 5 metal bent outwardly from the-fastening-pin I able to form the bracket of a single piece of portion and doubled back upon itself to meet the pin portion forming'the elongated slot, as illustrated in Figs. 2 and 3. 4 designates the shade-roller, 5 the custom- In these figures,

and 3, one v of the fastening-brackets is secured into the side stile of the window or door, andanother bracket member is similarly secured in its relative opposed position at a proper distance, de pendent upon the length of the shade-roller. As previously stated, the disposition of the loop portion of the bracket members is preferably upward. The rounded plintle 5 may then is a fragposition within the opposite or flattened pintle interlocked in opp beplaced'within the slot 3 of t e loop 2 and the other bracket member having been slightly turnedas shown in dotted lines at the left upper corner of Fig. 1, the flat intle 6, connected with the spring of the re ler, may then be inserted within the corresponding slot 3 of that particular bracket member and the member turned back again position, (illustrated in full lines at the upper left-hand corner of Fig.1 or, vice versa, the fiat pintle may be first inserted and the round one afterward.
